Full description

Villa Firenze is extremely elegant in its furnishing, with antiques and prestigious pieces from Italy, South Africa and Paris.

Set on a hillside with commanding views over formal gardens and the surrounding countryside, the main villa can be approached from both sides. The main front door leads into the grand entrance hall with staircase and has doors off to the formal reception areas with large windows overlooking the gardens.

The ground floor also comprises a large country-style kitchen, formal dining room, media and music rooms. The main staircase leads to the staff quarters on the mezzanine floor and on up to the main bedrooms on the first floor where there are 6 bedroom suites, the majority of which have large windows looking out onto formal gardens. All the suites are attractively furnished and decorated.

Outside features an infinity swimming pool and ornamental pond. The infinity pool gives guests a more intimate glimpse of the Chianti countryside. Its infinity effect creates an optical illusion of the pool’s edge to appear as an infinite horizon into the hills of Florence and beyond.

Ideal for large families or groups of friends, this villa truly represents the stylish countryside escape of Florentine nobility. In fact the estate is still owned by one of Florence’s most important aristocratic families.
